About Sensible Home Journal --------------------------- Sensible Home Journal records and stores information in database, in the form of disk files. You can store these files anyplace on your disk that you choose. There is online help with the program that you can use if you have trouble getting started. We recommend that you read the help when you are getting started with your first database. Backup Procedures ----------------- Due to the irreplacable nature of the information that is recorded in Sensible Home Journal, we recommend that you back up your data regularly. This will work best if you keep your journal files under the size of a diskette each. This may be 360K, 720K, 1.2M, or 1,44M, depending on your diskette drive. To make a backup of your journal database, you can use the DOS copy command, to copy database files to diskettes. If something happens to your hard disk copies of your journal databases, you will have a backup to go back to. Picture Files ------------- Sensible Home Journal provided the ability to store pictures or other external documents, and associate them with journal entries. This most likely takes the form of scanned-in photographs. We can also provide scanning services at a reasonable cost if you would like to have some photographs scanned. Contact us for more information about scanning services. Thank you again for choosing shareware. We hope you find this program useful, and that it helps you store important information that happens in your life.
